Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Seven vignettes with different couples on the point of soiling the sheets, as it were. In one tale, we learn the secret of a whore's speciality (giving head while singing 'La Marseillaise'), in another, a woman balks when her partner refuses to leave the light on ('Do you mind if I masturbate?' he asks politely). Sharp, funny stuff; Ozon respects no sexual boundaries, but unlike the disappointing Sitcom these provocations aren't scoring points at the expense of bourgeois stereotypes; any transgressions are ultimately liberating.
